Development
The EP consists of leftovers from the creation of Chesapeake, which Yamagata worked on the previous year, plus some songs that were composed during touring Europe and North America. Yamagata returns to her previous formula of piano and strings.[2] The song "Keep Going" was used in the 2012 film, To Write Love on Her Arms, also known as Renee. The tracks were recorded in The Village, The Bunny Ranch, Crab Trap, Marlay Studio, and Ice Station Zebra Studio in Medford, Massachusetts.[3] The cover artwork is by Jan Zoya, whose artwork impressed Yamagata with its feeling of sadness, nostalgia, and passion.[4]
